Your Wife Shall Be Like a Fruitful Vine

A short psalm that contains the key definitions of how to be blessed and the results of blessing.

The straightforward way to be blessed by the LORD is: 1) Fear God 2) Walk in His ways.

The result of the LORD's blessings on us are:
- our work will be fruitful and we will be happy
- the wife would bear numerous children
- the joy of having children around us




Psalm 128
Blessings of Those Who Fear the Lord
A Song of Ascents.

1 Blessed is every one who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.

2 When you eat the labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.

5 The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.

6 Yes, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!
